⚡ The 'Action' Pattern

Look at how we describe what AI and people do. We use a simple path: Who $\rightarrow$ Does what $\rightarrow$ The result

AI $\rightarrow$ does easy work $\rightarrow$ people have time.
Companies $\rightarrow$ spend money $\rightarrow$ they grow faster.

🛠️ Word Swapping

To reach A2, you can change one word to change the whole meaning. Look at these 'Opposite Pairs' from the text:

Hire (give a job) $\leftrightarrow$ Fire (take away a job)
Safe (no danger) $\leftrightarrow$ Dangerous (risk)
Secret (hidden) $\leftrightarrow$ Public (open)

💡 Quick Tip: 'Some' vs 'Many'

Don't say 'all' if you aren't sure. Use these words to be precise:

Many = a big group (Many companies...)
Some = a small group or a few (Some workers...)
